[So Turo had rebelled and turned his master... to save his master's child and his master's country. Because his master was on the path to betraying his people.
Among the Moon Tribe, such a breach of filial piety would be looked down on, but not necessarily punished. Because if it was done to prevent one's master from betraying the Moon Tribe, then it could be seen as just punishment enacted on the master in question. Betrayal was the worst crime one could commit in the Moon Tribe. Not personal betrayals, those were family business. But betrayal of the people as whole.]
This venerable one is not the head of your family, nor are you sworn in service to him. So he cannot forgive for your personal crime against your master if his son has not chosen to do so. But this venerable one sees nothing to condemn you for within your confession.
If you make this ship and the people of it your people, so long as you do not betray us, then you belong. If you feel you must earn that place, then know that you have earned it and did so months ago. This venerable one will hear otherwise no longer so do not speak in such a way again.
[He raised an eyebrow.]
If you desire a means of proof to others, this venerable one will grant you a title within his court.
[Daqiang didn't personally see the need for such displays in this world, but Moon Tribe saw titles and positions as a reassurance of ability of the one who held it. If someone did not have an ability to maintain the title - such as having another challenge them for a position and win - then they were clearly not as capable as the other.]
